The Colts’ decision to fire general manager Chris Ballard last week led to speculation about other moves ahead for the team and significant attention was paid to potential trades.
Return to Jonathan Taylor’s name has arrived in that speculation and he said last week that he hadn’t considered a move because he was focused on the game. However, Taylor’s wife, Ayanna, has no games to prepare for and she has made a few videos on social media discussing the possibility of a trade this weekend.
These videos explained why the Colts would trade Taylor, including the lack of a 2027 first-round pick due to trading Ballard for Sauce Gardner. After Sunday’s 16-10 loss to the Vikings, Taylor was asked about those videos and he said he didn’t think his wife was just talking about things that were already part of the larger conversations surrounding the team.
“I think this has already been published, so I think she’s adding to it it really doesn’t change anything” Taylor said, via James Boyd of TheAthletic.com. “You know everyone is on TikTok these days. So you just have to come to work and stay focused.
Taylor’s teammates Quenton Nelson and DeForest Bucker have also seen their names pop up in trade discussions and the only way that will likely stop before Nov. 10 is if the Colts move forward with moves involving all three players.
